God,
Today I feel alone.
As the storm brews,
Each rising breaker
Triggers a retreat
Further, into
The safety of self.
There is much I need
To make sense of,
But the walls reverberate
Their silence, and
Disquietude pervades
Each conscious thought.
I seek a tangible being
To turn to, but
There is none to be found.
The thirst-quenching fire within
Is reduced to a flicker,
As I take my eyes off You.
I need to seek Your face,
But words are replaced only
With silent tears.
I want to commune with You
As a child, to a Father,
But human cruelty
Has rendered this concept
Incomprehensible.
Spirit of God
Illuminate this lonely path,
Lest I stumble, or lose my way.
Make the truth of my adoption
A glorious reality, replacing
The broken things of earth,
With the Divine.
Great Shepherd of the sheep
Bind up,
Strengthen,
Come after the lost,
And piece together
The fragments of
A shattered life
Today I feel lead to leave this footnote, should another sojourner stumble upon this page. Yesterday, after these unspoken words spilled from my heart, I opened my Bible and asked God's Spirit to speak a word of hope to my soul. Almost immediately I read that; God is not far from any one of us and, we are His offspring. Even though the Christian life can seem like the loneliest walk on earth, He is there. God is good.
